Silent Fortissimo

The festive season is around the corner again.

Even now it still bemuses me how similar Kurehito's and Shinobu's styles are and, strangely enough, how I'm starting to like the latter's more. Enjoy the lovely illustrations of the second and last volume of 太陽のチャンネル, which seemed better composed than the first book, and Granblue Fantasy Graphic Archive that I had been meaning to put up for a long while.

A candle's a treat.

Reckless Serenade

Time flies.

Enjoy the pretty pictures, even if everything Kurehito draws now is oddly shiny. Once again, Megumi gets her own little special scene at the very end as she always does. I could probably live without more side stories though.

The sun is a light bulb.

Pleather For Breakfast

It's time for one of those posts again.

So here are the illustrations of SaeKano Volume 8. A picture is worth a thousand words, but they can be misleading too. Another date at the mall, and while Tomoya and Megumi aren't exactly on first name basis yet, she does start using 'Tomoya-kun' for a bit and he develops a habit of calling her Megumi. Iori eventually ends up joining blessing software, so you'd think everything is going to be alright but well, Volume 7 Girls Side probably finished on a happier note than this one.

Not that it really means anything.

One Minute Of Love

I wonder if it's just the calm before the storm, but it sure is eerily quiet. Perhaps Megumi was right in Memories of Lily when she said that people simply forgot about SaeKano when the new season and shows started rolling in.

Not much of a surprise and slightly old news now, but Volume 8 will be released on June 20th. While I had imagined that Izumi will be featured on the cover – which does not seem to be the case now – the synopsis seems to suggest that Eriri may be heavily involved in the story.

That said, I don't have much time until the next volume to summarize Girls Side and since there is no guarantee if I'll be able to do a comprehensive summary – feels a bit like an oxymoron – at all, I will leave here a quick-bite version for the lazy and the busy.

Nothing Out Of The Ordinary

It is the time for one of those posts again.

So here are the illustrations for SaeKano Girls Side and pretty pictures from Shining Blade & Ark Collection of Visual Materials because why not. Akane certainly looks different from what I had in mind and even though it's a side story, Maruto isn't going easy on us at all. To think that Eriri and Megumi ended their friendship though (in Eriri's eyes anyway), that might actually change a few things.

My head beats a better way.
